autos.udn.com, 3 Apr '25
Mercedes-Benz Taiwan has announced the latest upgrades for its 2025 model-year vehicles, focusing on the luxury EQE SUV and the V-Class commercial vehicle series.
These updates follow the enhancements introduced in March for the C-Class, GLC, E-Class, and S-Class, aiming to strengthen product competitiveness and meet market demand.
The EQE SUV series now includes multiple powertrain options: the EQE 300 SUV, EQE 350 SUV, and EQE 43 SUV. Notably, the 2025 EQE 350 SUV features a rear-axle steering system to enhance handling agility.
Meanwhile, the V-Class range now offers a "First-Class Seat Kit" to improve rear passenger comfort.
In addition, the Manufaktur customisation programme has been expanded to include two new exterior colours - Mystic Blue and Irish Green - for the GLE and GLS models. The EQE SUV now also offers a new brown walnut trim option for the interior, providing customers with further personalisation choices.
To promote electric vehicle adoption, Mercedes-Benz Taiwan has introduced a limited-time purchase incentive for selected pure electric models, offering benefits such as zero-interest financing for up to 60 instalments and extended warranty coverage.
The EQE SUV series provides a range of powertrain options. The EQE 300 SUV has a pure electric range of 587 kilometres, while the EQE 350 4MATIC SUV comes equipped with an AMG Line exterior and an all-wheel-drive system. The EQE 43 SUV has been tuned by Mercedes-AMG.
For 2025, the EQE 350 4MATIC SUV now comes as standard with a rear-axle steering system featuring a maximum steering angle of 10°, reducing its turning radius from 6.15 metres to 5.25 metres. This modification enhances both high-speed stability and manoeuvrability in urban environments.
Since the redesign of the V-Class in August 2024, the 2025 V 250 d AVANTGARDE model now offers a "First-Class Seat Package" as an option. This package includes dual independent electrically adjustable seats in the first row of the rear compartment, featuring footrests, as well as ventilation and heating functions to enhance passenger comfort.
The Manufaktur programme now includes additional customisation options, with the introduction of Mystic Blue and Irish Green exterior colours for the GLE and GLS models. The EQE SUV also gains a new brown walnut interior trim option.
Mercedes-Benz Taiwan is offering a limited-time purchase incentive this month for selected model years of its pure electric vehicles, with financing options including zero-interest instalments for up to 60 months.
For the EQE SUV series, the lowest monthly payment starts at NTD 25,000 (US$ 750).
Additionally, customers purchasing pure electric models, including the all-electric G 580, will receive an extended two-year warranty and one year of Type B insurance.
